(FILES) This file photo taken on April 25, 2013 shows ArcelorMittal blast furnaces of Florange from the hill overhanging the Fensch valley, in Hayange, eastern France.
Towering over the Moselle valley in northeast France are two rusting testaments to the dashed hopes of Francois Hollande's presidency that loom large over the election of his successor next year. Five years after steel giant ArcelorMittal snuffed out the last two blast furnaces in a crucible of France's heavy industry, the workers who fought to save their beloved "cathedrals," as they call them, are still seething.
